After the game, Wang Ai took the lead and led all the 86 national juniors to express their gratitude to the few North Korean fans in the stadium. As for Wang Ai's jersey, the North Korean fans should not even think about it. The referee on duty has to leave...
After the game, Coach Liu took the national junior to a small celebration in the hotel. This was the first time Wang Ai and his teammates officially got to know each other. Early the next morning, the group broke up at Pyongyang Airport, and the national junior returned to Beijing.
Wang Ai flies directly to Macau.
Due to Macau's special history, it has almost become the only possible venue for today's warm-up match. After all, it is the Portuguese team, a strong European team, and last year's World Footballer Luis Figo also came with the team. Ruikos
The tower is here. Portugal still attaches great importance to this warm-up match, at least it is full. Of course, at this time when the World Cup is about to start, Portugal "condescends" to come and play with China. It is definitely not something that can be done with money.
One is that there is a host named South Korea in the same group of Portugal, and FIFA’s attitude towards supporting Asian football is very obvious, so the Portuguese team knows very well that it cannot treat the South Korean team as an ordinary host. In view of the fact that China and South Korea two months ago
The warm-up match was tied, so Portugal wanted to find a way to play South Korea from the Chinese team; secondly, this was the first time that the World Cup was held so far away from Europe, and the players all needed to get rid of jet lag, so they came 10 days in advance.
Going to East Asia also has the purpose of relieving the effects of jet lag, returning to training and adapting to the East Asian climate. Therefore, after the game, I don’t go back to my country. I go directly to South Korea to wait for the World Cup to start. Of course, the last point is to find a weak team to beat before the World Cup.
Damn it, develop your confidence in the game.
The Chinese team didn't have so many ideas. As soon as they heard that the semi-finals of the European Cup the year before last had agreed to play a warm-up match with the Chinese team, they immediately agreed. Besides, Portugal's current tactical play is very smooth and their personal skills are also good.
Well, it's a bit similar to Brazil, and Brazil also speaks Portuguese... In other words, playing a game with Portugal can be regarded as a tactical drill specifically for Brazil.
Don't worry about whether it's just wishful thinking or not, at least the Chinese Football Association's competition organization and preparations are still very complete, and everything that should be there is already there.
On this day, Wang Ai arrived in Macau at noon. After returning to the team, he took off his vacation. Team leader Nan Yong happened to see Wang Ai coming back. He was a little surprised. He was given three days off and came back early? It seems that Xiao Wang attaches great importance to this warm-up match! So!
Nan Yong was very happy and came over to say a few words to Wang Ai. In his opinion, this was the return of the prodigal son?
In the afternoon, the international players watched videos of Portugal's previous warm-up matches in the hotel conference room. Milu and members of the coaching staff analyzed the characteristics of the opponent's tactics and helped the players find ways to restrain their opponents. Wang Ai listened.
I was confused, so I went back to my room while going to the bathroom in the middle of driving to continue thinking about my graduation thesis.
When the meal was over, Lao Ma specially ran to Wang Ai's table and complained while eating: "Why are you here? I just saw that you came back a day early and performed well. I was quite happy. How could this happen all of a sudden?
His efforts were exposed?"
"I'm writing my doctoral thesis." Wang Ai didn't even raise his head.
"Uh..." Lao Ma was stunned for a long time with a bun in his mouth. What do you mean? What is a doctoral thesis? Drinking, playing cards and killing legends. I can talk to you about anything you say. You... How can I answer this?
?
Comrade Ma Mingyu, political commissar of the national football team, is very distressed.
Fortunately, at this time Wang Ai raised his head and said again: "Brother Ma, I don't think the meeting in the afternoon is interesting. The warm-up match doesn't matter the outcome. It's better to concentrate on studying the real opponent. Less bullshit is better than anything else.
"
Lao Ma came back to his senses and shook his head: "Then you can't just leave. Fortunately, you are sitting in the back and no one is paying attention... I can't say that no one is paying attention, but your reason for skipping class is quite good.
of."
"Hehe!" Wang Ai smiled and said without explaining, you are at least a bachelor's degree student.
Lao Ma hummed and went back, but when he went to the coaching staff table to talk, several coaches and officials at the next table whispered, look at Xiao Wang! He is playing football here and busy studying for his doctorate over there! Doctor!
He said this through clenched teeth. After hearing what the translator said, Milu put down his knife and gave Wang Ai a thumbs up in high spirits.
After the meal, the national football team rushed to the Macau Stadium. The Macau government also specially organized a cultural evening, which was attended by a large number of domestic stars. Wang Ai took a look at the sidelines, including Na Ying, Liu Huan, and several Hong Kong stars.
Combination or something.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, the national football team and the Portuguese team took the field. After a simple warm-up, at 7:30, after the Korean referee took his place, the game started.
Wang Ai put down "Guiguzi" and watched the game seriously. Now he is qualified to sit on the bench. Of course, in view of Wang Ai's impressive performance, no one is willing to disturb Wang Ai's academic studies easily, so Wang Ai watches
Very focused.
The performance of both teams was not very good, and it suddenly rained before the game, so the two teams made frequent mistakes. This had a greater impact on Portugal, which is good at technology, but the Portuguese team still controlled the game very well, but they could not very quickly.
Sharp. It wasn't until the 24th minute of the first half when Xu Yunlong brought down Canela and the referee gave the Portuguese team a penalty kick that the Portuguese team found a chance to score. Unfortunately, Rui Costa's penalty kick was blocked by the state
The brave Jiang Jin made the save.
Some media criticized Jiang Jin as "stupid, big, black and rough", but from Wang Ai's point of view, this is actually a compliment. Goalkeepers do not need idols, practicality comes first! "Stupid" means a high level of investment in the game.
"Big" is inherently an advantage for goalkeepers. The bigger the person is, the smaller the door appears. "Black" indicates good physical fitness. "Thick" is similar to "big". At least from the point of view of saving penalty kicks,
Jiangjin is well-deserved as the first national gate.
In the last fifteen minutes of the first half, the Chinese team got two good chances in a row. One was Li Xiaopeng's free kick, and the ball hit the upper left corner of the goal, slightly higher than the crossbar. The other was Dewey's goal.
A follow-up shot was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper with his foot.
Although both sides received a yellow card each, judging from the game scene and process, the national football team was serious about fighting Portugal, and the score was 0:0.
During the halftime break, the national players were very excited, and Milu was relatively optimistic, so they made continuous substitutions at the beginning of the second half. An Qi, Zhao Junzhe, and Qu Bo replaced Jiang Jin, Ma Mingyu, and Hao Haidong respectively.
Wang Ai in the lounge looked on with cold eyes. The national football team should not be optimistic at all! Not to mention the huge impact of the rain on the Portuguese team, the "threat" created by the Chinese team is actually not as beautiful as it looks. It is scary at best. Although Li
Xiaopeng's free kick flew past the lintel. The angle was not bad, and there was an arc, but the speed was too slow. The result of pursuing the angle too much was the loss of suddenness. The opponent's goalkeeper had already made a clear judgment, and even if it hit the goal frame, it would not matter.
Dewey's follow-up shot was quite decisive, but his foot skills were limited. The goalkeeper was already attacking and lying on the ground, but he was able to block the shot. This shows that the technical level of this shot is actually not high.
As for shooting skills, speed and strength are just basic skills. The most fundamental thing is the competition between the consciousness of the shooting player and the goalkeeper. No matter how fast you are, it will not be as effective as misleading and deceiving the opponent. The two shots of the Chinese team, the ball path
They were all guessed correctly. Even if the goal was really scored, it could only be said to be a mistake by the opponent, which means nothing. In the first half of the game, the Chinese team seriously lacked confidence and hesitated all the time. The forwards, midfielders, and defenders every time
Touching the ball, making movements, even crossing and shooting were not decisive enough. Except for the "silly, big, black and thick" Jiang Jin, the whole team showed worries about gains and losses.
In a word, facing Portugal, the world's strongest team, the Chinese team had disarmed before even taking a shot.
